Yeah, I was like "oh well" also.

Like everything else, you work your ass off for at least 10,000 hours, then you can begin to approach expertise in any area.

Well, how do we know that isn't a real Hubble picture of Galactus?

It is difficult, but it's also what separates the men from the boys, worldbuilding-wise.

Eh, nope. The Empire Strikes Back, which remains the best of the six movies, was written by Lawrence Kasdan and Leigh Brackett, not to mention directed by Kasdan as well. Return of the Jedi was the point at which Lucas lost all his external shit filters, and it went all downhill from there.

Hell, even the ISS has a form of propulsion.
